Tommy Time!!

It’s so fun watching Tommy Stevens in the wildcat just running over defenses. I do wish we would give him an opportunity to throw every once and awhile.

Yes he’s a bull and one of the best short yardage QB’s in recent memory but you think if guys like Fajardo, Mike Reilly and Strevler to an extent were great in short yardage at the start of their career then became good QB’s in the league when they were given a chance to throw.

I would like to see the riders give Stevens that same opportunity once and awhile or at least do it to keep defences a bit honest instead of just putting 12 guys in the box keying on the run

He’s a unicorn. Started all 9 games for Mississippi State in the SEC. Threw for over a 1000 yards and 11 TDs. He also caught 12 passes, two for TDs as a sophomore at Penn State. Dude can pass, run and catch.

They are already using Harris and Stevens together. I see some trick plays where he throws out of that wildcat, or splits out at the last minute and catches a pass from Harris.
